/**
 * This is the kparts interface classes for text editors.
 * The text editors use the Document/View model that allows multiple views into
 * one file (Document)
 *
 * Line numbers passed via this interface must begin at line number zero (0).
 *
 * TODO: See documentation at http://??????? for information on how to use kparts in
 * general. A simple (but sufficient) implementation is shown below.
 *
 * <pre>
 * QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout(this);
 * QSplitter *fixme = new QSplitter(this);
 *
 * KTrader::OfferList offers = KTrader::self()->query( "KTextEditor/Document" );
 * assert( offers.count() >= 1 );
 * KService::Ptr service = *offers.begin();
 * KLibFactory *factory = KLibLoader::self()->factory( service->library() );
 * assert( factory );
 * m_part = static_cast<KTextEditor::Document *>(
 * 						factory->create( this, 0, "KTextEditor::Document" ) );
 * assert( m_part );
 * m_part->createView( fixme, 0 );
 * layout->addWidget(fixme);
 * m_part->setText( "" );
 * </pre>
 *
 * You may also be able to use a dynamic_cast for the document part above
 * (depending on compliation of the library used)
